Ask caterers to make it “Eco to go”
If you’re planning on ordering out for your party, use this simple phrase to tell restaurants that you would like minimal packaging, condiments and utensils. They might not know what you mean at first, but the more people use it, the more vendors will know what it means and that they should get with the program.
Buy your charcoal from sustainably managed forests
Not all charcoal is created equal. Check for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) logo on the bag you buy to make sure it isn’t from a rain forest or other unsustainable source. And if you can use charcoal from the US instead of Asia or abroad, that’s even better!
Cost: Surprisingly, FSC certified and US sourced charcoal isn’t too much more expensive than the alternative.

Florida deep-sea explorers asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to overturn an earlier ruling that 17 tons of treasure recovered from a sunken Spanish galleon belongs to Spain, deepening a long-running battle over a trove worth at least $500 million that has unfolded not on the high seas but in federal courtrooms.
Attorneys for Odyssey Marine Exploration asked the three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the “finders keepers” rule that would give the treasure hunters the rights to silver coins, copper ingots, gold cufflinks and other artifacts salvaged about four years ago from the galleon off the coast of Portugal. Spain’s lawyers countered that U.S. courts are obligated by international treaty and maritime law to uphold Spain’s claim to the haul.

Hi,
I’ve been lurking around here for a long time now and this is my first post…. Before I did an intro post I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share some of the other sites you use other than this forum…. Not necesarily other forums (although those are good too) but also just informational type sites/blogs. Thanks in advance!
